Starting Thursday
Coulibaly is in the starting lineup for Thursday's matchup with the Thunder.
Analyse
With Coulibaly starting, Bub Carrington will shift to the second unit, and his minutes could see a sizeable dip. Joining Coulibaly in the starting five will be CJ McCollum, Kyshawn George, Khris Middleton and Alex Sarr.

Team option exercised
The Wizards exercised their 2026-27 team option for Coulibaly on Thursday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
Analyse
Coulibaly's option is valued at $9.24 million, and this decision was a no-brainer for the franchise. Coulibaly underwent a Sept. 12 surgery to address a ligament tear in his right thumb, but he's been cleared to make his 2025-26 debut against the Thunder on Thursday.

To debut Thursday
Coulibaly (thumb) will make his season debut Thursday against the Thunder, Chase Hughes of Monumental Sports Network reports.
Analyse
This is a huge development for the Wizards as they reintroduce their prized young forward back into the mix. He's likely to have restrictions in the early going, as this will be his first live action since his Sept. 12 surgery to address a ligament tear in his right thumb. With Coulibaly set to return, it will be interesting to see how the Wizards tweak their rotation because of how well Kyshawn George is playing.

Ruled out for Tuesday
Coulibaly (thumb) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Philadelphia.
Analyse
Head coach Brian Keefe said Sunday that Coulibaly is considered day-to-day, though the team doesn't have a set timetable for his return, according to Ben Strober of 106-7 The Fan Washington. The 21-year-old swingman's next opportunity to make his season debut will come Thursday against the Thunder.

Day-to-day, no timeline to debut
Wizards head coach Brian Keefe said Sunday that Coulibaly (thumb) is considered day-to-day, but the third-year wing is without a timeline to make his 2025-26 debut, Ben Strober of 106-7 The Fan Washington reports.
Analyse
Coulibaly didn't play during the preseason and was a partial participant in practice as recently as a week ago, but it's unclear how much more on-court work the 21-year-old has been able to do since then. Though Keefe's comments suggest that the Wizards aren't anticipating him missing extensive time while he continues to work his way back from Sept. 12 surgery to address a ligament tear in his right thumb, Coulibaly should still be viewed as doubtful, at best, for the Wizards' next game Tuesday versus the 76ers.
